Detoxification
Infrared deep heat therapy detoxifies the body by stimulating perspiration at a comfortable temperature to reduce the body's level of acid and waste residue such as toxins, cholesterol, sodium, alcohol, and heavy metals including lead, mercury, aluminium, cadmium, and fat soluble toxins.
Skin Purification
Increased circulation to the skin helps promote a younger looking complexion. The high level of sweating achieved in an infrared sauna carries off deeply imbedded impurities and dead skin, leaving the skin refreshed and rejuvenated. The infrared sauna improves skin tone, and elasticity, as well as improving the condition of acne, psoriasis, eczema, burns, cuts, and skin lesions.
Athletic Performance
Athletes, body builders, weight lifters, and those who work out heavily all benefit from infrared therapy. Using an infrared sauna before and after exercise to warm their muscles, they can prevent injuries and promote relaxation through decreased lactic acid levels.
Cellulite Clearance
Infrared saunas help clear cellulite, the gel-like lumps of fat, water, and debris trapped in pockets beneath the skin. Many beauty specialists use infrared saunas as part of their therapy programs.
Weight Loss
Your heart rate, cardiac output, and metabolic rate all increase in an infrared sauna to improve your overall cardiovascular fitness. You can burn up to 900 calories in just one 30 minute session in an infrared sauna. This is equivalent to the number of calories a person normally burns up in 30 minutes of exercise. You lose weight and not just water with the infrared sauna.
Passive Vascular Conditioning
The benefits of infrared deep heat therapy to blood vessels and the heart is similar to those of physical exercise. This means that infrared saunas are great for people who cannot condition their vascular system physically such as handicapped and paralyzed people and those with restrictive cardiovascular conditions such as Congestive Heart Failure and Hypertension.
